Physical Sweeper Conkeldurr (Guts)

White Herb will reset Conkeldurr's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Superpower). Focus Sash helps protect Conkeldurr from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Conkeldurr at the end of the turn which will activate Conkeldurr's Guts ability. Use Detect or Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Conkeldurr is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Conkeldurr a sweet boost.

♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Conkeldurr is burn/poison/paralyzed).
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
